A dime a dozen
"A dime a dozen" is an idiomatic expression used to convey that something is abundant, commonplace, or of little value due to its widespread availability. The phrase originates from the idea that something is so common that it is as inexpensive as a dime, and therefore not particularly valuable or remarkable. When describing objects, qualities, or even people as "a dime a dozen," it suggests that they are easily found or obtained, with little uniqueness or rarity to distinguish them.
Moreover, "a dime a dozen" often implies that the item or characteristic lacks significance or distinction, as it is readily available and does not stand out from the rest. It is frequently used to denote things that are unexceptional or ordinary, emphasizing their lack of special qualities or value. Whether referring to goods in a market, skills in a workforce, or traits in individuals, this expression highlights the sheer abundance or commonality of the subject, suggesting that it is easily replaceable and not worthy of special attention or consideration.
